Well, I'm finally back in the good ole' USA (Chicago) and it feels good to be home after being on the road for nearly 2 months. The trip bore fruit on numerous levels including fresh perspective, rejuvenation, and time for research/reading. We are nearly 2 years into publishing at Gold Investment Letter and I can say with the utmost confidence that our best days are yet coming and I am especially hungry to exit 2013 with a bang. We started publishing at the market peak in gold, silver, and mining stocks in late 2011 and despite a grueling 2 year bear market, my personal brokerage account values are at all time highs(I hope many of yours are as well!). What will happen when the wind is at our back and not in our face? I believe the winds of change began to blow this summer and will accelerate at our back going forward for the foreseeable future in our favored sectors of the market.
Besides GIL, I am the founder and CEO of 2 companies with 10 divisions of various businesses. Due to capacity restraints, I will be tightening up my obligations significantly in the coming months to produce efficiencies. As far as GIL is concerned, I now have a very sophisticated base of subscribers at all levels of membership. They are: Elite, Premium, and Free. The learning curve of managing content/information flow to these various levels of interest is now over and going forward will be laser focused and laddered accordingly. Elite members have complete priority in everything I do and 95% of what I invest in personally is passed on to these members. I have been a precious metals and mining stock investor for 10 years but have been a technology venture capitalist, investor, and trader for 15 years plus. Alternative investments including private equity, venture capital, hedge funds, Limited Partnerships, and various special situations have been my focus for the last 10 years as well professionally.
Elite members get a taste of all of these arenas IF they are appropriate and of interest. Elite membership is exclusive to Accredited Investors and institutions only. I only have 4 slots left for Elite membership, which is capped at 20 people at any given time, then we will create a waiting list. Only when an Elite member falls off will another be included at that time. I know some of you have waited until my return to join and I would suggest you lock in your space right now, because it's first come first served unconditionally. Even for long standing clients (Pre GIL) and friends/colleagues, the Elite membership is the only way to ensure full idea flow and recommendations going forward. My time will simply be too constrained going forward to share many of the ideas I have in the past. I find it too difficult to text here/email there/phone call here certain folks on certain ideas and be able to follow up on all those interactions appropriately so the Elite is a low cost way to ensure full and thorough communication within our small group.
I fully also expect Premium Members will be included in a very solid amount of information that Elite members receive as well, including many new stock ideas that our free list never hears about. If you like our content, stock ideas, market observations, and musings, why you would not pay $39 a month for this additional information, I do not know. If for any reason your payments lapsed, you'll have to stay on top of re-inputting your cc info as I do not chase subscribers to stay on board. Some of you have been unknowingly missing premium content I'm sure (as well as folks who bought the ZEN special report---the Elite free trial has been over for some time now).
However, I understand many will simply sit tight with the free newsletter and that's ok. I still plan on adding value to the free GIL content and maybe even more so this fall and winter as my activity will be through the roof on many fronts. This will continue to ebb and flow however, and any time constraints that occur due to my other initiatives, will ensure my Elite/Premium subscribers are getting more than their money's worth.
I write this out so most of you have all of the options at your disposal laid out before you and at any time can decide whether to up or down grade to the various levels of engagement. I do believe that this is game time. It's game time for me personally for where I'm at in my life and also game time in terms of the markets and how important it is going to be to keep our fingers on the pulse of the precious metals and mining shares markets from here on out. We're coming off a brutal 2 year bear market which the severity has only been seen a few times in history and staring at what looks to be a 3rd spectacular phase of the secular bull market in gold/silver, where the most money is made in the shortest period of time.
If one plays their cards right in the next few years, serious net worth accumulation can be had. If not, serious net worth deterioration may be had as well! Our "Next Zenyatta" Medallion Resources may be on the cusp of a potentially violent move into 2014. Our 3rd 20 cents to $2 stock within 2 years, Timberline Resources, may be as well....with both stocks still very cheap. Our 4th 20 cents to $2 stock within 2 years play given to premium subscribers is in the same boat, and I have identified a handful of other stocks in various sectors for our Elite members that have 10 bagger potential.
Whichever group you are a member of going forward, it is sure to be an exciting time. I am an idealist when it comes to the new stocks I pick for our members and will continue to be quite selective in what comes out of our due diligence funnel into your vantage point in our writings. I'm not in this to "make a living". I do that already elsewhere. I'm in this because I love it and to change lives. I'm seeing this already with testimonials of investors who have made enough money to buy bigger houses and send their kids to top colleges. In fact, we have at least 2 subscribers that I know of who have made over $1 Million in profits just on Zenyatta in the past year....neither of which have ever made that much in one stock before.
Although this letter mostly caters to the already sophisticated and wealthy, I do hope to help some folks who are not in those categories join the ranks. These ambitions are not without risks, as any potentially large rewards have correlated risks(plus-bad habits are most difficult to unlearn). But, I hope to do a good job in navigating the mine fields of the markets with you all in the months and years to come. For anyone looking to subscribe above the free newsletter you may do so here:
It is exactly what we suspected and speculated upon, that the west pipe would see similar mineralization as the east pipe. The west is a much bigger anomaly than the east and I suspect we'll see another very large resource proved up in the west in the coming months as well. Although some of the initial grades are a bit lower on the west, I believe they'll also have a very good chance of hitting higher mineralization zones in the west with further drilling. Bottom line, is if we average 4-5% grades on both pipes, this thing is truly a monstrosity and of great value.
We still need the other 2 pieces of the puzzle to come out to prove this of course. University tests providing clarity on applications of the end product and the 43-101 to bring on new institutions. I suspect we are very close to the former and about 4-6 weeks away from the latter.
